¹ Sing aloud unto God our strength:
Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
² Raise a song, and ^[a]bring hither the timbrel,
The pleasant harp with the psaltery.
³ Blow the trumpet at the new moon,
At the full moon, on our feast-day.
⁴ For it is a statute for Israel,
An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
⁵ He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony,
When he went out ^[b]over the land of Egypt,
Where I heard ^[c]a language that I knew not.
⁶ I removed his shoulder from the burden:
His hands were freed from the basket.
⁷ Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee;
I answered thee in the secret place of thunder;
I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah

⁸ Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee:
O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
⁹ There shall no strange god be in thee;
Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
¹⁰ I am Jehovah thy God,
Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt:
Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
¹¹ But my people hearkened not to my voice;
And Israel would none of me.
¹² So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart,
That they might walk in their own counsels.
¹³ Oh that my people would hearken unto me,
That Israel would walk in my ways!
¹⁴ I would soon subdue their enemies,
And turn my hand against their adversaries.
¹⁵ The haters of Jehovah should ^[d]submit themselves unto him:
But their time should endure for ever.
¹⁶ He would feed them also with the ^[e]finest of the wheat;
And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.
